Our Breeding Practices

     We do not allow female dogs to breed with males until the second heat cycle to protect the uterus of the female dame. By waiting until the second heat cycle, (Approx 14 months of age), the female has a fully developed uterus and is able to produce a healthy litter of puppies.

                                                                            

      We do not allow a male and female dog that have the same mother and father to breed even if both dogs come from separate litters. By following this practice, we ensure that female Pomeranian will produce a healthy litter of puppies.                 

     It is best practice to only allow a female Pomeranian adult to only have a maximum of three litters and get them spayed. By limiting the number of litters, the health of a female Pomeranian is preserved and birth defects in Pomeranian puppies are reduced.       

     When a female Pomeranian has whelped a litter of puppies, a heat cycle is skipped in the mating process so that the uterus has time to properly recover from pregnancy and nursing puppies. "Staggering" or skipping also helps preserve breast health in female Pomeranian dogs.
